Inside Scoop

Keep your eyes out for Bill Harvey - the man, the myth, the legend that our restaurant Harvey is named after. He’s a regular in the hotel.

You might be a meat eater, but our vegan pizza will give you a run for your money! The Cavalo Nero Pizza on our bar menu is a fan favorite.

Smile and say cheese! Our Chef takes his cheese selection very seriously. Ask for a sample and get ready to taste the best cheese of your life.

Our reception team is from all over the world! Start chatting with them and hear an interesting story or two.

In the warmer months, enjoy a brew in our own curated Biergarten located along Wythe Ave. 

Hey don’t leave your furry friends at home! We’re pet friendly and love when man’s best friend comes to visit.

Sleep with a Local - that’s our tagline. We are partners with just about every local spot, so if you want to explore the neighborhood let us know! We might be able to hook you up.

The best way to get around is biking around. We have a handful of bikes for our guests to ride around the hood! Call down to reception and you’ll be on your way.

Wake up on the right side of the river and order a latte. Better yet, ask for Hadley - our AM breakfast server who does the best latte art around. 

The Williamsburg Breakfast is our signature - get the works with this meal and enjoy a signature dish.

Brooklyn High Tea is all the rage right now. Friday through Sunday join us for our unique twist on traditional high tea offering a high selection of tea and treats made from our very own Brooklyn Bread Lab.

Bushwick isn’t too far! Ask our marketing team for a tour of the Brooklyn Bread Lab, our bakery outpost located 15 minutes away. We mill our own fresh flour and create endless treats with it that are served at the hotel daily.

Venue Features
The scene:
Located at the prime corner of Wythe Ave and North 10th St. in Williamsburg Brooklyn, this hotel strikes the perfect pitch between spectacular service and style. The guest rooms are richly tiled-and-textured with authentic reclaimed materials, and the lobby bar and lounge area have a very classy-cozy feel.
Design:
Designed by London-based design firm Michaelis Boyd Studio (Babington House UK, Soho House Berlin), The Williamsburg Hotel is an eight-story property boasting 147 rooms and suites dressed in whitewashed timber walls, with most rooms having outdoor terraces. The property is perfect for the culinary, leisure or business-focused traveler, encompassing the acclaimed Harvey restaurant; stylish Lobby bar; Ballroom, the largest of its kind in Brooklyn; and
the newly opened Roof Top Pool and Water Tower Bar.

The Williamsburg Hotel is elegantly dressed with double-height ceilings, natural finishes and eclectic interior furnishings that celebrate the multicultural population of Brooklyn's thriving Williamsburg district. The Williamsburg Hotel offers hyperlocal amenities from a propertybranded "tuk-tuk" that gives lifts to its guests across the neighborhood, a partnership with local bakery Brooklyn Bread Lab, complimentary bicycle rentals and dog-friendly amenities and perks for canine-loving guests.

In a nod to its Brooklyn heritage, The Williamsburg Hotel features exclusive wallpaper created by Beastie Boy Mike D, depicting "quintessential Brooklyn scenes and figures" in the lobby area, and an art installation of thousands of strands of multi-colored yarn as crowns to the lobby bar created by street artist Eric Rieger.
Standout venue features:
Guest rooms feature floor-to-ceiling sliding glass acoustic windows with Manhattan, Brooklyn and East River views, and design schemes vary from white-washed timber walls to deep grey distressed finishes with bespoke leather, brass, marble, and textured details at every turn. Rooms are thoughtfully designed with elements like a sitting table doubling as a tray for room service, open-windowed showers to create a loft-like space. Upgrades available to a room with a terrace with amazing views.

This section provides insights into our diverse culinary and social offerings.
Located in The Williamsburg Hotel in prime North Brooklyn territory, Harvey is a stylish 105-seat New American bistro with a focus on pure, healthful foods and artisan breads baked in-house in collaboration with Brooklyn Bread Lab. Under the guidance of Chef Kevin Chun, the restaurant’s vegetable-forward menu emphasizes fresh, inventive seasonal fare with a focus on whole grains freshly milled in-house as well as local meat, fish and produce.

The restaurant is open daily for breakfast and dinner and also offers a special high tea service on weekend afternoons as well as nightly live music. It strives to support its fellow Brooklyn vendors whenever it can and features local purveyors on each of its menus, from Five Acre Farm to Salvatore Brooklyn Ricotta.

Harvey’s casual elegance, ingredient-driven culinary style, and sincere appreciation for the benefits of eating and drinking clean, natural food and wine mean there is something on the menu for everyone, from the local Brooklynite hoping to impress a date with a flawless evening out and the health-conscious New Yorker on the hunt for a nourishing meal to the ten-year-old on vacation with her food-loving parents.
Harvey’s polished interiors reflect a thoughtfully modern aesthetic while its ambiance exudes the warmth and candor of a classic diner, encouraging guests to sink into the sleek red booths lining the restaurant’s perimeter or engage with one another over a shared meal at the inviting communal tables in the center of the space.

The restaurant is located in The Williamsburg Hotel, an eight-story boutique hotel encased in brick, glass, and Corten steel. Designed by London-based design firm Michaelis Boyd Studio (Babington House UK, Soho House Berlin), the hotel’s eclectic style, natural finishes, and colorful accents invite guests to while away a morning in its light-drenched lobby or an evening at its soaring upstairs bar, where a vibrant yarn-based art installation by Eric Rieger stops visitors in their tracks.

You can't miss sipping on one of our staff favorites, the Perfect Harvey cocktail in our lobby bar named after our restaurant and the mogul Bill Harvey himself.
